Permit Requirements
To apply for a sewer and/or a street opening permit, please fill out the Permit Application, including a plan or sketch of the work you intend to do. For sewer permits, please fill out the Sewer Permit Application as well.
The Blank Street Opening Permit is included here as an example of the standard conditions we expect for any opening of a city street or paved public way. The Public Works Director may add additional conditions. Any sewer connections must be inspected by City staff before backfilling occurs. We collect a $50 sewer tie deposit that will be refunded once we have received a completed Sewer Tie Sheet. Payment must be received by the Public Works office before any permits are issued. All permits must be approved by the Public Works Director before work begins.
All sewer contractors must also be licensed by the City Clerk’s office. Please contact the Clerk’s office at 207-443-8332 for more information.
